  1. More dollar boxes coming later in the thread, but let's close the night with a handful of books that are more than a buck....I said there would be twists, turns and surprises....
  2. Your choice at $1 each: Marge's Little Lulu #200 Shadow Play #1 Bugs Bunny #144 O'Malley and the Alley Cats #4 Pink Panther #7 Woody Woodpecker #127
  3. SOLD! Or, take all 17 Archies in the previous two posts for $15 (valid til singles are taken, of course)
  4. The dollar box is opening! Whats coming out???? Look! It's.....Archies!!!! Okay, here's the deal with the dollar box books: some are as nice as mid-grade, but some have stains, writing, a piece off the back cover, etc so consider them all GVG readers at a buck apiece. Archie's first, then a mix; Ducks and more still to come after that, (but likely not tonight.)
  5. Who is Glenn? Sorry to be dense. But I do think Mjaor Glenn Talbot from the Hulk is dead and not back.....
  6. Yes. Did we miss it? Did he come back?
  7. Wait, I know! Thunderbird from the early days of the new X-Men! (John Proudstar). He's still dead, right?
  8. Mar-Vell, right? (As in Marvel's first Captain Marvel.)
  9. The problem with Marvel villain history insofar as naming a Hall of Fame-style list is there's only a few who have been consistently great antagonists. Marvel history, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, is its full of villains who have been great in short bursts, one or two story arcs, then not used again or never used again at the same level of story quality. Examples of what I mean: Graviton (1st app Avengers 158-159), Korvac (long Avengers saga culminating in 177), Nebulon (early Defenders appearances), Proteus (X-Men 128), etc. Fully developed, sustainable villains like Doom, Magneto, Kingpin, Loki etc are tough. I agree Galactus is more like a very important supporting character than a villain, though he's always an ominous threat. Toward the thread's original intent, I'll add Sgt Fury #1 to the top honorable mentions list as he's pretty arguably Marvel's top supporting character-level from the hero side, after Hank Pym. These two are to Marvel the Martian Manhunter is to DC's universe, IMO.
  10. And we have a Norrin's Lawyer at $70 shipped! Thank you Greg! And thank you to all bidders and lookers, I hope everyone had fun with this. Fyi all, I just opened a "Bargain Basement" thread over in Mixed, if you're looking for cheap, fun reading. I have lots more coming, including "Dollar Box" posts (there's already a $2 Box up), and I'll also add a few neat surprises, twists, and turns. Thanks again everyone!
  11. Thank you, that's a win in itself! Two-minute warning....
  12. That's all I have shot right now; lots more to come, including many $1 box specials....Archie, Ducks, Richie Rich, more...
  13. The $2 Box is NOW a $1 Box! Your choice, any of the following, $1 each. Grades range, but all in the FN range, with old comic book smell to them, to boot!

  17. German reprints of ASM #'s 8,12,15 16,17,19. Front covers all look NM but some backs have scuffing so I'm calling these VF+. Your choice, $15 each, or take the lot for $75.
